SAN ANTONIO — Rymer Liriano raced home from third base after Cody Overbeck singled on a bunt ground ball to shortstop with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the San Antonio Missions to a 2-1 victory over the Midland RockHounds on Saturday night.

With the Missions’ win at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium, the teams ended up with a split in the four-game series.

The RockHounds return to Security Bank Ballpark at 6 p.m. today to begin a four-game series with the Frisco RoughRiders.

Midland, despite getting 11 hits in the game, scored its only run in the third inning when Dusty Coleman scored on a sacrifice fly in the third inning.

San Antonio tied the game in the fourth inning on an Austin Hedges RBI double.

Ryan Dull (3-3), in relief of Midland starter Shawn Haviland, got into trouble in the ninth as he hit Liriano with a pitch and walked another batter with no outs. After a sacrifice bunt against RockHound reliever Seth Frankoff by Hedges moved runners over, Overbeck came through with the game-winning hit.
